Curious that there are nsome on this thread bellyaching about restrictions on our rights and freedoms in some areas; yet many of these same folks wanted to deny the Boston Bomber his Miranda Rights

They had him talking. He was answering questions that were asked. In walks the judge, reads his miranda rights. He hasn't talked since. So much for getting intel from him. Thank you Department of Justice. They didn't want to know if he did it. They ahve that on video and pictures. They wanted to know what he knew about other possible cells, other folks that might be radicalized. Talking might have saved his life. Now they can hang the terrorist bastard.

For what it is worth. Miranda only needs to be read if you are asked questions about the crime you committed. That question would not have been asked by a Cop with 3 days on the job much less the experienced guys talking to this creep.

You are correct. I should have added if you want to use the information of the crime against him.
